France has always felt like an adventure, but this trip led me to a hidden gem just outside the city. From the calls of exotic parakeets to discovering some of Europe’s smallest songbirds, I found myself surrounded by unexpected wildlife in the most ordinary of places. Join me as I share the photographs, stories, and surprises from my time exploring Parc du Héron and get a glimpse of the animals I’ll be chasing on my next trip to France.
